Tutorial: Rainbow Stripes

After getting some requests on Instagram for a tutorial, I've decided to stop procrastinating and put together a video tutorial for these rainbow stripes!


This is my first time making a video and I guess it's pretty obvious when you watch it. I couldn't help cringing myself through the whole 5 minutes and 56 seconds of it. :f (I swear I don't sound this strange IRL but I just couldn't snap out of the "reading" mode when faced with a recorder :/)
In any case, I'd spent almost an entire day fiddling with it and I just couldn't bring myself to do it again for another day so I've decided to just upload it. :P


For your reference, here are the polishes that I've used:

Red - O2 Skin MK0220
Orange - red + yellow
Yellow - China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
Green - yellow + blue + a little indigo
Blue - China Glaze Electric Beat
Indigo - L.A. Girls Dance Studio
Violet - indigo + red + a little white creme
White base - Orly Au Champagne

Do let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for making video tutorials. Any help will be much appreciated!

Also, feel free to ask any questions in the comments (even if it's a request for other tutorials - if you happen to like this one that is)! As usual, I will do my best to get back to you asap! :i

xoxo,
mich

    Hahaha! You're too nice. I still think I sound strange in the video. And this is exactly how I recorded a presentation for one of my mods. I think my prof must have laughed his pants off or something. o"o
